Ogbeni, you have virus on the removable disk. The shortcuts are shortcuts to the original files still non the removable disk and hidden. Delete the shortcuts. Navigate yourself to 'folder Options' , click on 'folder View' tab or something, then select 'show hidden folder' and commit the action. Now go back to d removable disk. You would see the hidden original files. Copy all to another medium. Or select all files and edit the properties by unhidden. Copy all files to another medium. Reformat the removable disk. Make sure you copied all d files.. Abeg make sure you don't format your system hard disk o .. I won't be held liable for that.. |

Get an antivirus .....preferably avast 9 .....and run the setup from a CD (why?) Cos it will also get corrupted if run from USB flash .... Then do a boot time scan... Delete all infections Lobatan... |

That's is work of RECYCLER VIRUS Only Solution: Use a strong ANTIVIRUS . Quickheal Antivirus is recommended, even the unregistered version of it will get rid of the stubborn virus. |
